Totem's browser plug-in does not provide Realplayer plugin
Last modified: 2009-01-25 15:46:37 UTC
Please describe the problem: Totem does not provide a RealPlayer plug-in. Because of that, some streams using just the standard mp3-format with RealPlayer plug-in, cannot be played with Totem, because the site does not find a Realplayer compatible plug-in. The same stream plays fine with mplayerplug-in Steps to reproduce: 1. Go to http://www.defected.com/store/store-details-digital/Studio-Apartment-In-the-House/2332 2. Click on any of the music notes icon Actual results: A pop-up window opens with a download link for Real Player Expected results: The pop-up window should embed a media player and just play the MP3 file, like mplayerplug-in does Does this happen every time? Yes Other information: The site uses this javascript to find whether realplayer is installed: var real //----------Real Player check module----------// real = 0; numPlugins = navigator.plugins.length; for(i=0;i<numPlugins;i++) { plugin = navigator.plugins[i]; if (plugin.name.indexOf("RealPlayer") != -1) real = 1; } //--------------------End of module--------------------// if (WM_easyDetect('realaudio') != 1 && real != 1) { document.write("<div id=\"realPlayer\"><a href=\"http://uk.real.com/player/?&src=ppc_google_realmusic_uk_player,ZG.uk.rm.rm.hd.def\" target=\"_blank\">Download Real Player</a></div>"); } else { player ='<object type="audio/x-pn-realaudio-plugin" data="http://www.defected.com/audio/samples/studioapartment_siarre_sergiofloresremix.mp3" width="302"height="36" id="rvocx" controls="controlpanel" autostart="true">' + '<param name="src" value="http://www.defected.com/audio/samples/studioapartment_siarre_sergiofloresremix.mp3">' + '<param name="autostart" value="true">' + '<param name="controls" value="controlpanel">' + '<param name="enablejavascript" value="true">' +'</object>'; document.write(player); } Simply providing a plug-in with the name RealPlayer, like mplayerplug-in does, should probably be enough to make this work.
It does, but it's disabled by default because it doesn't support most of the features from the real RealPlayer plugin. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 525788 ***
